Assessing Damages From a Work Injury
After a workplace accident, damages must be assessed to determine what compensation you may be entitled to. This includes evaluating injury severity, calculating lost wages, and estimating non-economic losses such as pain and suffering and emotional trauma. Damages may include:
- Past and future medical costs
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of earning capacity
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
And more.
Work Injury Liability
Determining liability for a work injury can be complex. While workers’ compensation laws protect most employees, there are situations where third parties may be liable. For example, if a defective product caused the injury, the manufacturer may be responsible. An experienced workplace injury lawyer can help you determine the best course of action.
Filing for Workers’ Compensation Benefits After a Workplace Accident
If you sustained a work-related injury, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, the claims process can be complicated. A personal injury attorney can help file your claim and advocate for the maximum compensation you’re entitled to receive.
Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Insurance providers are profit-driven businesses, and adjusters may attempt to deny or minimize your claim. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney knows how to negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that your claim is taken seriously and fairly valued.
Representing You in Court
If negotiations with insurance companies are unsuccessful, a workplace injury attorney can file a personal injury lawsuit and represent you in court to pursue full and fair compensation.
